BOSTON, June 12. The great Influx of
delegates during the last twenty-four hours
, lamely augmented the audiences that filled
.Mechanics' halt today at tho various ses-
. slons of the Young Men's Christian associa
tion International convention, which wcr
chiefly devoted to the presentation by abl
speakers of subjects and problems bearing
on the progress of tho Young Men's Chris
tian association work during the last fifty
y-ars.
. In opening the convention this morning
President William U. Dodge Implied re
pudiation qn behalf of the convention of the
remarkable circular Issued 'yesterday by a
fow member of the association condemn
ing tho Boston MtiBtum of Fine Arts as an
Improper place for the young men to meet
nt a reception. Although couched In mod
orate language, his words were Btrong and
forceful nnd wero greeted by applause,
Although the addresses of tho morning
nnd afternoon sessions were Interesting to
tuoso personally eiigigcd In association
work, It wns tho evpnlng meeting which
Htrnngly appealed to tho popular taste, on
account of tho curiosity to boo and hear
Mht mllltaty, and naval heroes who were
'announced ns speakers, nnd to catch a
glimpse of the othor notables who were
present rnerely, as auditors.
Among tho speakcra wore Major General
Joseph .Wheeler, Hear Admiral F. J. Hlg
glnson, Captain A. V. Wadhama, U. S. N.;
. Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, and
Colonel Curtis Oulld, Jr., who presided.
Tho result was nn Immcnso attdtenco that
filled every nook and corner at tho big
hall and one that was wildly enthusiastic
In Its reception of tho speakers, especially
to General Wheeler and Captain Hobson.
Following the evening session a reception
to dolcgatos nnd friends tendored by the
women's uuxlllnrles ot tho Massachusetts
and Rhode Island associations was held In
tho Museum of Fine Arts.
The day opened with a song service. Tho
floor of tho great hall of Mechanics' building
was well filled by tho delegates boforo the
opening cxcrclsps wero held, but tho gal
leries wero almost empty.
Druno Hobbs of Cripple Creek, Colo., was
unanimously chosen secretary of tho con
vention. The flr6t address of tho day was given by
Judgo Seldcn P. Spencer of St. ..ouls, who

wherever men are and can bo reached thero

, Tho. contribution of the Young Men's
Christian association toward the solution ot
tho city problems was considered by Her
bert B. Antes. Ho spoke In part as follows:
Tho solution of the city problem lies In
successful effort on behalf of those whoso
lives are capable of development, for those
nt least for whom tho Idea of expansion is
yet conceivable; to fortify Individual char
acter so that he, who Is yet not over
borne, may feel within him an expanding,
nn uplifting force, a power of resistance
sufficient to enable him to develop despite
oppressive conditions; to weaken by every
legitimate menns the power ot evil to nt-
traetnanrt the forces of adverse environ
ment to Injure; to convert tho very clrcunr
fltnnces of associated human lni Into an
uplifting agency these are the lines along
which we may most hopefully deploy our
force to uttnek the city problem.
lleiMirt of Interiiiitloiiiil Committee.
Tho biennial report of the International
committee nnd tho general secretary of tho
committee, Richard C. Morse, was read.
In the greater cities of tho continent,
where the American Young Men's Christian
association originated, they have grown
steadily In strength and ,U!efuliie8 during
the Inst hnlf of tho century. This devel
opment has been in many divisions, among
clerks nnd mechanics, nmong students and
railroad men, In the army and navy, among
young men of the colored 'nee and among
other clnsscs, also in tt.e physical, educa
tional nnd religions departments of the In
dividual associations.
The army and navy work has been de
veloped Into u permanent department,
operating in Cubn, Porto Rico nnd the
l'hlllpplne Islands, nnd establishing many
branches at points on this continent now
permanently occupied by soldiers. Twenty
such branches have been established, eight
of which nre under the care of the city
associations In their Immediate vicinities.
Tho development of this work alone hns
furnished over DO per cent of tho growth
The Stars and Stripes
July 14, 1777, ono hundred and twenty
tour years ago, lacking one day, tho con
gress, by resolution formally adopted the
Stum and Stripes as tho emblem of the
icpubllc. The only difference between the
flag of today and the flag of 1777 Is the
Increased number of stars In the field of
blue. Previous, to tho adoption of this
flag "the different colonies had used flags
ot thrlr own. The necessity ot a common na
tional flag was recognized, however, early In
1777 and congress delegated to a committee
authority "to design n suitable flag for the
nation." Accordingly General Washington
and Robert Morris called upon Mrs. Betsy
Kosj, In her Uttlu home In Arch street,
rhtladclphla, and requested her to make n
flag from n design mndn by General Wash
ington. Betsy Ross wns an old Quaker
woman, tho widow of John Ross. She wa
a dressmaker and Washington had em
ployed her, and, therefore, when the ques
tion of the flag came up thought of her as
the proper person to make It.
Tho design proposed by Washington
(which was made under directions of con
gress) hnd Blx-polutcd stars arranged In
a circle. Betsy Ross suggested that a
flve-potnted star should be adopted ss being
much easier to make, Her suggestion was
accepted by tho commltteo and the flag sho
inado was adopted by congress on June 14,
1777. Under a resolution of congress Betsy
Ross received 14 12s 2d for flags made
for the fleet In the Delaware river. After
wnrd the contract to make all the govern
ment flags was awarded to her. .
.
A bulletin Issued from the War depart
ment a fow years ago gives tho following
facts about, the origin of the flag;
Tho American rnngreis, In sesilon nt
Philadelphia, established by Its reiolutlon
of Juno 14, 1777. a national flag for the
United States of America. Tho retolutlon
wns as fqllnwp;
,,Resolveih'That'lhe flag of the thirteen
United States be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and whlt;Jht tho union be thirteen
tars, white In a blue field, representing a
new constellation."
Although nearly a year previous, July 4,
1776, these thirteen United Statet had been
declared Independent, this resolution li the
flru legislative action recorded relating to
a national flag for tho new sovereignty.
Tho use of thirteen stripes was not a
new feature, a they had been Introluced
(In alternate whlt'o and blue) on the upper
left-hand comer ot n standard presented
to the Philadelphia Light Horse by Its cap
tain In tho early part of 1775, and moreover
tho union flag of tho thirteen united
colonics raUed nt Washington's headquar

Ocorgo and St. Andrew on a blue ground
In tho corner. Thero is no satisfactory
evidence, however, that any flag bearing
tho union of stars had been in public use
before the retolutlon of June, 1777.
It Is not known to whom the credit of
designing the Stars and Stripes Is due. It
Is claimed .that a Mrs. John Ross, an up
holsterer who resided onArch street, Phil
adelphia, was tho maker of the first flag
combining tho stars and stripes. Her de
scendants assert that a committee of con
gress, accompanied by General Washington,
who was In Philadelphia In June, 1776.
called upon Mrs. Rosj and engaged her to
make the flag from a rough drawing, which,
nt her suggestion, was redrawn by General
Washington with pencil In her back parlor
and the flag thus designed was adopted by
congress,
Although tho resolution establishing the
flag was not officially promulgated by tho
secretary of congress until September 3,
1777, It rectus well authenticated that tho
Stars nnd Stripes were carried at tho battle
of tho Brandywlne. September 11, 1777, and
thence forward during all the battles of
the revolution.
Soon after Its adoption the new flag was
hoisted on the naval vessels of tho United
States. The Hhlp Ranger, bearing the Stars
and Stripes and commanded by Captain
Paul Jones, arrived at a French port about
Decombcr 1, 1777, and her flag received
on February 14, 1778, the first salute over
paid to the American flag by foreign naval
vessels.
Tho flag remained unchanged for about
olghteen "ears after Its adoption. By this
time two more states, Vermont nnd Ken
tucky, had been admitted to the union
and on January 13, 1794, congress enacted
that from and after May 1. 1793, tho flag
of tho Unltea States bo fifteen strlpesi al
ternate red and white, that the union be
fifteen stars, white In a blue field.
This flag was tho national banner from
1795 to 1818, during which period occurred
(ho wnr of 1812 with Great Britain. By
1818 Ave additional states, Tennessee, Ohio,
Louisiana, Indiana and Mississippi, had
been admitted Into the union and theretoro
a further change In tho flag seemed to be
required. After considerable discussion In
congress on tho subject the act of April 4,
181S, was passed, which provided:
"First That from and after the 4th day
of July next the flag of the United States
bo thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red
and white; that the union have twenty
stars, white In a blue field.
"Second That on the admission ot every
now state Into tho union one star be added
to the union of the flats and that such addi
tion shall taKo effect on the 4tb day ot

Tho Omaha Real Estate exchange has
fixed tho value on three pieces of property
in tho central portion of tho city and, It Is
said by members, established tho price at
which property near tho pieces appraised
will be sold for this year.
Tho first appraisement wns upon lot
block 112, city. This property Is known ns
tho Christ Hartman property and consists
of tho land upon which Is located three
framo flats at 1807, 1809 and 1SU Farnam
street, sixty-six feet west of the corner of
Eighteenth und Farnam streets. As usual
there was considerable variation In the
opinion of the members of the exchange as
to tho valuo of the property. One man s
estimate was $490 per foot front; nnother
one estimated nt $185. These two extremes
were not considered In reaching the aver
age price of $2W per foot, which was placed
upon tho land.
Tho second appraisement was upon lots
11 and 12, block 2, Capitol Hill addition,
being 123 feet square, the ground upon
which the Shrlner hotel stands, The varl
.tlon was not so great as upon the first
nppralsement, the extremes being $160 nnd
$110. Tho average price fixed was $70 per
foot front.
Tho third appraisement was upon the
west thlrty-olght feet of the south half of
lot 8, block 149, a vncant tract on the west
sldo of Thirteenth street, botween Harney
and Howard streets. The range In, opinions
as to price was from ?ij to J150, the
average being $103.
O. S. Ilenawa, from tho picnic commit
tee, reported that over 100 tickets had been
sold during tho week and that as many
more would be disposed of before tho
picnic.
ftor some discussion n committee con
slstlng of J. W. Lytle, T. 8. Royd nnd J.
N. Frenier, was appointed to appear before
tho county commissioners when that body
sits as a hoard of equalization for the pur
pose of Investigating tho question of
Omaha assessments for county purposes to
report their action to tho exchange.
Tho application of Latham Davis for
memberhlp In the exchange was referred
to the membership committee, to be re
ported upon at tho next meeting.

Facts About
the Flag.
July next succeeding such admission."
The return to tho thirteen stripes of the
1777 flag wns due In a measure to n rev
erence for the standard of the revolution,
but it was also due to the fact that a
further Increase of the number of stripes
would have made the width of the flag out
of proportion to Its length unless the
stripes wero narrowed and this would havo
impaired their distinctness when seen from
a distance.
No act has since been passed by congress
altering this feature of tbo flag, and It is
tho same as originally adopted, excopt as to
tho number of stars In Its union. In tho
war with Mexico the national flag bore
twenty-nine stars In Its union, during tho
lato civil war thirty-five, and since July 4,
1S91, forty-four stars. In none of thu acts
of congress relating to the flag has tho
manner of arranging tho stars been pre
scribed, and In consequence thero has been
a lack of uniformity In the matter, and flags
in use oi me puouo generally may bo seen
with the stars arranged In various ways.
The early custom was to Insert the stars
In parallel rows across the bluo field, and
this custom has, It Is bolleved, been ob
Served, In the navy at least, since 1818, at
which time the president ordered the stars
to bo arrungod In such manner on the na
tional flag used In tho navy. In the army,
too, It Is believed tho stars bavo always
beeu arranged In horizontal rows across the
blue Held, but not always In vertical rows:
tho effect, however, being about the same
as In the naval flag,
Hereafter thero will be no difference In
the arrangement between the nrmy and the
navy, as an agreement has been arrived at
between the War and Navy deportments on
the subject.
The nntlonal flags hoisted at camps or
forts nre made of bunting of American
manufocture, They aro of the following
three sizes: Tho storm and recruiting flag,
eight feet In length by four feet two Inches
In width, the post flag measuring twenty
feet In length by ten feet In width; tho
garrison flag, measuring thirty-six feet In
length by twenty feet In width (this flag
Is hoisted only on holidays and great occa
sions). The union Is one-third of the
length of the flag, and extends to the lower
edgo of the fourth red strlpo from tho top.
The national colors carried by regiments
of Infantry and artillery and tho battalion
of engineers, on parade or In battle, are
made of silk, and are alx feet six Inches
long and six feet wide and mounted on
staffs, The field of the colors Is thirty-one
Inches In length and extends to the lower
edge of the fourth red stripe from the top,
The sizes of the flags used In tho army and
navy are not fixed by law, but are pre.
scribed by army ud navy regulation.

MAY REBUILD A BRIDGE
tlenernl Miinnurr lloldrrup l)lcime
Proposed Improvement on llur-
llllKton Itlllltp,
General Manager Holdrcgc of the Bur
lington In part confirmed last night the
report that bad become current touching
the proposition to rebuild the Burlington
bridge across tho Missouri river at Platts
mouth. "Tho bridge will probably be re
built," said he, "some time within tho next
three or five years. The company doesn't
plan to put In n new bridge, but to rebuild
th present one. The same piers will be
used, nnd the snmc spans, and It may be
widened to admit a double track, Instead ot
n single track as at present.
"For several years the Burlington has
bejn cutting grades and double-tracking Its
roads In lown, working westward from the
Mississippi river. The work of changing
the old line for the purpose ot Improving
tho alignment and reducing grades Is now
under way to a point six miles west of
Red Oak. The now surveys call for a re
duction of the grade to the approaches ot
tho Plattsmouth bridge, which will In turn
necessitate a reconstruction of'tho bridge
In order to lower It. Its height will prob
ably be reduced by from eight to ten feet."
Mr. Holdrege declined to confirm the re
port to tho effect that tho company plans
to build n lino direct from Hastings, la.,
to Omaha, cutting out Pacific Junction.
The rumor of a new Burlington bridge nt
Omaha was aleo discredited.

with tho valuo of the property, It 1b under
stood that Mr. Kountzo Is anxious to as
sist South Omaha In securing a direct
route to tho river. When tho commltteo of
tho council waits upon Mr. Kountze it is
expected that It will go prepared to close
tho deal at otico and It this Is done thero
will be no further trouble about on east
ern outlet.
In this connection Councilman Ed John
ston has another deal on foot with Mrs.
M. J. Brubaker in regard to her property
on N street. After a conference, with Mrs.
Brubakpr Mr. Johnston offered a motion In
the council directing tho city attorney to
commcneb condemnation proceedings In or
der that X street mny be opened from
Fifteenth to Twentieth streets. Tbo city
attorney has been engaged In a number of
cases lately, but he will soon get around
to tho filing of tho proper papers and this
will mako n start In the direction desired.
Business men say thut too many roads to
the river cannot be opened and that both
Missouri avenue and N street aro favored.
The success of tho proposed ferryboat and
tho pontoon brldgo depends largely upon an
open roadway from tho landing to tho
stock yards and East Sldors nnd others fa
vor cither one or the other or both of tho
proposed routes.

In compliance with a resolution of the
city council Clerk Shrlgley has turned
over to tho chief of police n list of tho
applicants tor liquor licenses who have not
paid the feo of $1,000. The orders of tho
council are that all license, money must bo
paid by Saturday,. June 15. Unless this U
dono by noon the saloons whoro applica
tions have been mado and no money paid
will be closed by tho chief.
So far eighty-two saloon keepers havo
paid In and others nre expected dally. Tho
druggists, too, will come In for their share
ot grief for the reason that tho council
proposes to secure a revonuo from this
source which has been neglected for some
time past.

Persons purchasing lots In the new

what tho Board of Education proposea to
do In relation to vacating the olley It now
occupies In tho rear of tho West Side
school. When the school house was erected
tho board took it upon Itself to run Its
lines nnd buildings back to tbo south line
of tho alley. Now that Jetter has platted
tho ground tho alley Is needed and tho
board will bo forced to either purchaso
more ground or else move tho outhouses
up to within a few feet of tho rear of
the building.
Tho council declares that oil plats must
conform to tho original survey and tho
school board will, therefore, be compelled to
take nction of some sort and that shortly.

Holders of bonds which aro maturing at

that no demand for the redemption of tho

bo saved to the city In Interest. This ar
